Hello friends!

As you will recall from our last news post, 2019 marks our ten yaar anniversary – so we want to hear your #tenyaarstories.

Did you meet the love of your life during one of the Stuart’s infamous costume changes? Did a Blackbeard’s branded tea bag wallop you in the eye? Did a Blackbeard’s inspired cheesecake win you first place in your local bake-off?

Tag your stories, images, videos and any other shenanigans you can think of with #tenyaarstories, or send the band an email and we’ll be publishing the best on our website and social media channels throughout the year.

And if a Blackbeard’s-inspired story doesn’t quite come to mind, there’s still time to make one! Dust off your dancing shoes and find us at a festival this summer.

Saturday 20 July Whitby’s Tortuga Festival
Thursday 8 August: Sidmouth FolkWeek, Sidmouth
Friday 16 August: Moira Furnace Folk Festival, Leicestershire
Saturday 17 August: Folk East, Suffolk
Friday 23 August: Whitby Folk Week, Whitby

Come and have a celebratory toast to the good ship Blackbeard’s!
